Sports Coaching
What is Sports Coaching?
Sports coaching can be defined as the process of motivating, guiding and training and
individual in preparation for any sports, hobby, career, or event.
Most professional sports people have coaches to help them train and compete - but you don't have to be a
pro to hire a coach. It’s a common misconception that only elite athletes can benefit from the guidance of
a sports coach. All you need is a desire either to learn a sport or to enhance your performance in the sport
you already play.

To achieve great things in sport, we don’t necessarily have to put our bodies and minds through extensive
training program, either. The most important aspect of improving
sporting performance is to strive every day to be fitter, faster, stronger
and sharper than we were the day before.

What is the role of a sports coach?

The role of a sports coach is hugely varied, but it mainly involves:

 Teaching rules, techniques and tactics to beginners.

 Providing an objective view to help teams and individuals
enhance performance.
  Helping those involved in top-level sports deal with enormous pressures faced in a highly
competitive environment.
Although the coaching relationship may seem akin to that of teacher and student, there is often a stronger
connection than that. Particularly in cases where athletes progress towards a professional sporting level,
coaches can become more involved in the workings of their life. The relationship between coach and
athlete must be strong, professional and built on mutual trust and respect.

What is Fair Play?

Fair play is a complex concept that comprises and embodies a number of fundamental values that
are not only integral to sport but relevant in everyday life.
Fair competition, respect, friendship, team spirit, equality, sport without doping, respect for written
and unwritten rules such as integrity, solidarity, tolerance, care, excellence and joy, are the building blocks
of fair play that can be experienced and learnt both on and off the field.

What
are
Sport
Values?

Sport can teach values such as fairness, team-

building, equality, discipline, inclusion, perseverance
and respect.
Sport has the power to provide a universal framework for learning values, thus contributing to the
development of soft skills needed for responsible citizenship.

Coaching as a Career
Professional coachers see coaching as the ultimate “win-win” situation: helping others achieve their
goals by working in a meaningful, purposeful and lucrative profession
What does a coach do?

Sports coaches are responsible for getting sporting teams or individuals ready to compete, and
even guide them through their event. Extra duties may include recruiting players, developing game
strategies, and teaching the skills of the sport. A coach requires good planning and organization skills. They
need to be able to relate to their athletes and coaching staff, and get the best out of the people around
them.

Effective Coach
 An effective coach is positive. The job of a coach is not correcting mistakes, finding fault
and assessing blame. Instead, a coach's function is achieving productivity goals by coaching
staff to peak performance.
 An effective coach is enthusiastic. As leaders, supervisors and managers set the tone. Their
attitude is catching. Project gloom and doom, and you will get gloom and doom back from
your staff. The supervisor who fabricates reasons why things will not work out is never
disappointed by staff. Bring positive energy to every encounter.
 An effective coach is supportive. Being supportive means a lot more than providing an
encouraging word and a pat on the back. The job of a coach is to get staff what they need to
do their jobs well, including tools, time, training, answers to questions and protection from
outside interference. To lead, one must serve, anticipating needs and preventing problems
from happening.
 An effective coach is trusting. Does a supervisor or manager expect workers to be infallible,
performing their jobs on time, every time, with no errors? Of course not. Everybody makes
mistakes. Staff have good days and not-so-good days, times of peak efficiency and times
when they slide into a stupor. Staff members are human, a characteristic they share with
their coach.
 A good coach is goal-oriented. Base assignments on clear, definable goals. Tie specific tasks
to those goals. Communicate those goals to the people who actually have to do the work.
 An effective coach is observant. Tom Peters (author of A Passion for Excellence, etc.) talks
of "management by walking around." According to Peters, it is not good enough to sit in
your office even if your "door is always open." Supervisors and managers need to get out
and mingle with the staff. In addition, though, they need to pay attention. Being observant
means more than just keeping your eyes and ears open. Supervisors and managers need to
 be aware of what is not said as well as what is, and pick up on body movements and tone of
voice. A supervisor who is paying attention, will not have to wait for somebody to tell him
about a problem.
 A good coach is respectful. Equity requires equal access to jobs, pay and advancement
regardless of issues such as race, religion, ethnicity, or gender. However, it goes beyond that
to a work environment where co-workers abandon limiting stereotypes and expectations,
and respect each other as individuals. In the culturally competent agency, differences are
not just tolerated, they are celebrated. This is the case because everybody benefits from
those differences.
 An effective coach is patient. Patience is not just a virtue, it is a survival skill in the
workplace. Staff are not stupid, and they are not trying to drive their supervisor or manager
crazy. They are busy, and they are preoccupied, just as the supervisor is.
 An effective coach is clear. If the worker did not hear it right, maybe it is because the
supervisor or manager did not say it right.

 An effective coach is assertive. While supervisors and managers are being positive,
enthusiastic, supportive, trusting, focused, goal-oriented, observant, respectful, patient, and
clear, they should not lose sight of this critical fact of organizational life -- supervisors have
to supervise, managers have to manage. Being a good coach does not mean you are passing
on your responsibility to make decisions. It means supervisors or managers are making sure
that they understand what is involved in any decision, that they can communicate decisions
effectively and that staff are willing and able to act on those decisions appropriately. That is
how things get done.

Roles and Responsibilities of a Sport Coach

 Responsible for training an athlete or team

these most common styles:

 Authoritarian or Autocratic
 Strict and Firm
 Demand discipline
 Make decisions without player input
 Severe on poor performance

 Expensive
 Often at the Elite Level
 Head Coach is manager & oversees program
 Requires excellent communication
 Holistic Style
 Also known as “laissez-faire”
 Happy team naturally becomes a successful team
 Very little is offered in terms of structured training or positive feedback
